Don't Mess with That Dragon-Chapter 641 - 030: Resistance in the Shadows (Second Update)

Afterward, the great battle erupted at the core of the Kawa Great Forest, within the Beastman Royal Court. Both sides put forth all their power to engage in the final decisive battle.

In that war, the fallen legendary figures exceeded twenty, not to mention countless others below the Legendary Realm.

Edward preemptively avoided the battle,

while relying on friendships formed during the war with a student of a Legendary Powerhouse, at least gaining some recognition among the upper echelons behind that war.

After the war in the Beastman Royal Court ended,

Edward utilized the relationships forged during the previous conflict to subtly bring attention to Austin and certain anomalies within his Dragon Nest Beastman Tribe, through some maneuvering, finally drawing the attention of the Legendary Powerhouse overseeing the Border Great Wall, just as Austin and his Dragon Nest Beastmen forces began massive expansions, becoming a warlord overlord amid the chaotic conflict of the Kawa Great Forest.

Exhausted and thoughtful, Edward finally made Austin's Beastman Tribe appear threatening before the Legendary Powerhouse.

It was precisely due to his presence that the Dragon Nest Beastman Tribe's forces were noticed by the Legendary Powerhouse overseeing the Kawa Great Forest in those years. 𝕗𝕣𝐞𝐞𝘄𝐞𝚋𝚗𝗼𝘃𝗲𝗹.𝚌𝕠𝚖

However, before Edward could further act, leveraging influence to draw the Legendary Powerhouse against Austin and his Beastman forces, news of major changes in the Central Earth World arrived.

A chaotic age descended!

Conflicts and warfare between nations became frequent, disasters and calamities arose from within, as blades and flames spread across every corner of the world, chaos swept the land.

The forces behind the Legendary Powerhouse also suffered from the chaos, forcing them to return to the Central Earth World.

Thus, Edward's schemes crumbled instantly.

Though his plans failed, Edward didn't give up.

Through introductions by the student of the Legendary Powerhouse, Edward became the representative left behind by that Legendary Powerhouse, secretly probing into the affairs of the Dragon Nest Beastman Tribe within the Kawa Great Forest, maintaining communications with him.

Meanwhile,

the Legendary Powerhouse left an object capable of emergency communication at the Border Great Wall as a precaution before departing.

Throughout the years, Edward was clandestinely active, constantly investigating the Dragon Nest Beastmen's power, while secretly networking with old friends and acquaintances, organizing manpower to create trouble for the expanding Dragon Nest Tribe.

When the Dragon Nest Beastman Tribe had expanded to the outskirts of the Kawa Great Forest, they engaged in battles with Pioneer's City established by human forces, with Edward's shadow behind these pushes.

However,

regardless of his efforts, his plots, and his painstaking struggles, every attempt to incite turmoil against the Dragon Nest Beastman forces crumbled like an ant before a steamroller, unable to form even the slightest obstruction.

On the contrary, during the constant efforts to create trouble, one by one the acquaintances and friends from past years passed away.

Edward was, after all, a native of this world,

even though through years of opposition, he gained some understanding of his old rival, but due to the extremely tight-knit management system within the Dragon Nest Beastman Tribe, outsiders were utterly unable to investigate detailed information from within.

He had no knowledge that the Dragon Nest Beastman Tribe's influence had reached the Dolan Glacier Plateau, nor did he know that under Austin's leadership, the Dragon Nest Beastman Tribe's power was rapidly developing at an unimaginable speed, or the extent of the strength of the Blue Dragon Austin.

Moreover, he didn't know Austin could already mass-produce Half-Legendary Beastman Powerhouses, and relying on his strength alone, he could suppress the entire Dolan Frost Giant group on the Dolan Glacier Plateau!

The management system of the Dragon Nest Beastman Tribe, especially after the tribe's expansion, ensured Edward couldn't obtain true core intelligence of the Dragon Nest Tribe.

He swung his weapon, attacking what he believed to be the Demon God ahead, unaware the opponent had long grown into an unimaginable colossal entity, his so-called plots couldn't even scratch an itch for them.

The past schemes and plans,

were like an ant raising its claws to stop rolling wheels.

But this time,

Edward's actions ultimately caused trouble for Austin.

Through these years, Edward both schemed to organize a resistance and gathered rough intelligence on the Dragon Nest Beastman Tribe, until a few years ago, when the Dragon Nest Beastman Tribe made vast expansions and seized Pioneer's City built by human forces around the outskirts of the Kawa Great Forest, showcasing weapons of astonishing power similar to those of the Beastman Royal Court at the forest's core in past years.

Edward understood a bit of the purpose of the Legendary Powerhouse's surveillance from the Border Great Wall back in those days.

Thus,

he felt he'd collected enough intelligence to send it up, having his otherwise unknown son Arthur appear publicly, pretending ignorance to trigger the contingency left by the Legendary Powerhouse, supplemented by his intelligence to maximize trust, drawing the attention of those lofty Legendary Powerhouses to the massive Blue Dragon threat at the Kawa Great Forest.

To foster trust, later those Legendary Lords came to the Border Great Wall, conducting probes on the Blue Dragon Beastman forces. During this process, Edward never appeared publicly but secretly guided Arthur, directing the operation behind the scenes.

Unfortunately,

the probe failed again.

The life and death of three Legendary Lords remained unknown, and the teams causing turmoil in the city were apprehended one after another, not even causing much damage, with the plan destined for failure.

But Edward didn't flee this time.

He could sense this might be his last chance to face that Blue Dragon directly once again!

He still had a contingency plan,

one that could be deemed a final solution!

Precisely with a mindset that abandoned life and death, Edward chose to charge directly at the Giant Dragon Palace, intending to swiftly break through the defenses of the palace guards and penetrate deep into the Dragon's Nest.

Then,

with mutual destruction!

Edward's heart remained calm as he pushed forward relentlessly.

The Legendary Lords' plans ultimately had some effect,

originally heavily guarded, the Giant Dragon Palace's defenses at this moment were greatly reduced, presumably the elites within the main city were dispatched to suppress those two Legendary Lords, as well as to quell the teams causing turmoil within the city.

Now this feels right!

Otherwise, if only a small force was needed to suppress three Legendary Lords, that would be far too shocking.

Along the way, Edward couldn't help but think this in his heart.

Thus,

he triumphantly surged forward, breaking through to the front of the Dragon Nest Hall.

But Edward didn't expect to encounter Valen here,

one of his best friends from the past, Captain Valen, who treated him like a brother!

Faced against each other,

time,

seemed to rewind eighteen years ago!
